McCain's Strategery
1. Talk about being a POW
2. Try to appear as a "maverick" and slyly distance himself from Bush
3. Use Humor to avoid the tough stuff
4. Wear shoe lifts
5. Only talk about divisive issues like abortion, off shore drilling, judges, Iraq, Iran, but not Afghanistan, and Russia-Georgia conflict
6. Patriotism Card and slyly use race and religion against Obama.


Obama needs to diffuse McCain's advantage with his little POW stories, he needs to reveal McCain for what he is: a guy so in love with being president, he has capitulated and voted with Bush 95% of the time last year and 100% of the time this year; a flip flopper; McCain's age must become an issue because it DOES have some bearing on how long he would be in office and what kind of job he would do while in there; bring the discussion back to the ISSUES that McCain wishes would go away; tie him at every chance to BUSH, start saying McCain-Bush or "McBush" at every opportunity; show himself to be the real Patriot who cares about veterans, everyday people, the Middle Class, family values, rule of law, the Constitution, children, health care, poverty, freedom, etc. Diffuse any race baiting by the McCain camp by having surrogates call McCain out, not the candidate and have Obama talk more about his family, his background, and weave that in with his discussions about Policy. Get a kick ass V.P.

That's the strategery.

1. Receive "top secret" questions prior to debate, so he can have his answers ready to go.

2. Exactly. lol
No one can tell me that McCain did not receive those answers before he got on stage. He was prepped, prepared, and biting at the bit to get to each question. He seemed overconfident. This is the same guy who choked up when asked about Viagra and Birth Control. You can't tell me the answers were just popping in his head. This man is probably the dumbest man, next to GWB, to have ever ran for president. This is the same guy who said, "Is any one tired of, of paying, buck, a buck, paying a gallon, a gallon, buck for a gallon of gas?!"

Please.

He is monumental dumb ass.
